LCF50 PP Long Fiber Pellet
50% LCF PP Material
LCF50 PP is a high-performance thermoplastic composite material based on polypropylene (PP) and reinforced with 50% long carbon fibers. It is developed for use in automobiles, new energy vehicles, industrial equipment, sports equipment, and other lightweight structural components.
- Material type: Long carbon fiber reinforced PP
- Carbon fiber content: 50%
- Matrix resin: PP
- Material form: Thermoplastic composite particles
- Main process: Injection molding
- Typical color: Black
- Core direction: High-strength structural components, lightweight parts, metal substitution
Why LCF50 PP?
When choosing materials for many structural components, a common contradiction arises: ordinary plastics are light but lack rigidity; metals are strong but too heavy.
The positioning of LCF50 PP is to fill the gap in material selection. Therefore, LCF50 PP is particularly suitable for those:
- Ordinary PP is no longer able to meet the stiffness requirements
- The structural performance of the short fiber reinforced materials is still insufficient
- The products need to further reduce their weight
- There is a demand for weight reduction in traditional metal structural components
- It is hoped to achieve integration of complex structures through injection molding
- Long-term bearing and deformation control are required
For these applications, LCF50 PP offers not just "stronger plastic", but rather a completely redesigned material solution.

Processing and Forming
LCF50 PP is mainly processed by injection molding.
In actual production, the following aspects need to be focused on for optimization:
Melt temperature, mold temperature, injection speed, injection pressure, holding pressure conditions, gate position, gate size, and screw structure.
FAQ
Q: What are the differences between LCF50 PP and ordinary PP?
A: Ordinary PP is mainly used for general injection molding products. However, LCF50 PP is reinforced with 50% long carbon fibers, which significantly improves the material's rigidity, strength, creep resistance and dimensional stability, making it more suitable for structural components.
Q: Can LCF50 PP replace aluminum alloy?
A: Substitution evaluations can be conducted for certain components. Especially in applications where weight is a critical factor, requires injection molding, and has high stiffness requirements, LCF50 PP shows good potential for replacing metals. However, final verification is necessary based on component loads, temperatures, impacts, dimensions, and safety requirements.
Q: What color is LCF50 PP? Can the color be customized?
A: LCF50 PP is usually black. Due to the high proportion of carbon fibers it contains, it has a dark appearance by itself and the color cannot be customized.
